well i am stoked as i have just successfully repaired the elastic in 2 x gnst woohoo.. i made them a little tighter and i am tempted to replace the elastic in the one that isnt faulty lol just to make it snugger! (just i get excited at the little things).
also i have put a pic of ashley in her tikiboo i know somepeople havent heard of them so you can check it out there in my gallery.
well i have a busy day of continuous ironning (havent done any ALL week so have 2 baskets full yawn).
Anna - that's great you're getting all set up. I spent about $500 on nappies and covers to set up initially, but that was only for 2 in cloth.
As for how many I've got, I have about 50 bbh bamboo fitted (I used to have about 60), I have 30-40 magicalls (can't remember, they're in the wash) and about 6-8 itti bittis. I have about a dozen covers each for the girls. Even though Nina hasn't been in nappies for a few months now, I still have her covers. I don't think I'll part with some of them, Maz custom made them for Nina, with her name on them, and they're extra large.
I have finally caught up with my washing. I have been very slack lately with folding. But after visiting Suse yesterday, and watching her fold her nappies while we were there, I thought I'd better do the same when I got home. So thanks Suse for encouraging me Even though you didn't even realise you had encouraged me! lol
ali - I dunno, I guess you would need to strip wash after having them in napisan?? I just use the sun to get my stains out.
maz - Good luck today, and I hope Nickolaus has a fantastic day!! Can't wait to see some pics. I was going to ring you today for something, but figured I'd wait till Monday. Did you get that parcel? I got an email to say that it had arrived to you.
Lol Jodi - I didn't realise I was such a good influence. I only do it because it's chaos attempting to do it at changing time when E is leaping around the change table. BTW - have a guess what I had for breakfast...
GOOD LUCK Maz honey!! I know it will go wonderfully well and your boy will make you an even prouder mum!!
PP - congrats on fixing the elastic!! Well done!
Anna - well done on your stash score. That's fantastic getting enough nappies for three in cloth for $900.
I've just discovered one of the fabric stores near my place has a 'sewing lounge' (you can go in and use the machines by the hour), including a couple of overlockers. So I might get myself some bamboo and make some boosters and inserts. Although I might practice a bit first, never used an overlocker before LOL.
Had a rough couple of nights - E has been waking with tooth pain. So I was up at 2:00am last night, after an hour of unsuccessfully trying to get him to sleep I finally resorted to Nurafen. But it's the first time he's had to have it since he's been wearing the necklace, so that's a good thing. Hopefully the darn molars will be through soon!
Suse - A sewing lounge!! That is so cool!! I'd love one for occasional overlocker use, although I am getting the hang of using zigzag stich for similar overlock-looking-ness...
Maz - Can't wait to see you baptism photos!! Oh, and I am sooooooooooo excited about your "nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more..." hehe.
Jodi - I find the folding to be the worst part of 'washing' I just haaaaaaaaaate it & it's not unusual to find piles of clean clothes about the place....
PP - Oooh on replacing the elastic, isn't it great when you can fix something well & feel all proud & self-sufficient?!!
Annna - Sounds good to me! I am jealous of all the fluff you'll be getting soon!! Sounds like you've got a lot of MCNers to hang out with up there!
Maz - DH forgot your package!! I am slightly UNIMPRESSED!! Considering his watch was right next to it and he took that!! The nappies were sitting on the kitchen bench so there is a slight chance of one having some cocoa powder on it, but I hope I didn't spill any . I know today will be just perfect. Give Nikolaus big kisses from me!!
PP - Well done!! I have a nappy that needs new PUL (I dried it on low and it still lifted off) so I am in the process of pulling it apart and salvaging the microfibre to make a booster. It is not much good for anything else without the PUL.
Well Em still has a few blisters Thinking about putting hydrocortisone cream on her and taking her to the Dr to see if there is anything else that could be causing it. Nothing is working and having her in sposies takes a week to clear it. I am changing her regularly, avoiding wheat ATM (which severly restrics what she can eat) and tunring her boosters over so that the bamboo is against her bits and it is not helping anyone have suggestions?
PP they are tiny, like about 1 mm across on the actual blister part but the red raised bit is 5mm across on each. There are quite a few of them too. She is not liking being wiped. We are not using fragrances on her either.
